Get Your Grill On

June 23, 2013

Living in Florida means you get to grill year round, but now that the summer is right around the corner, the rest of the country is finally breaking out their charcoal. It’s time to get your grill on America! Now is the time to start searching for those great 4th of July recipes to feature at your holiday table. Our basic menu always includes ribs, potato salad, corn on the cob, and watermelon.

Directions
Heat grill to medium heat. Place half the ribs in single layer on large sheet heavy-duty foil. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and one end to seal packet. Add 1/4 cup water to packet through open end. Double fold remaining end, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make second packet. Grill 45 min. to 1 hour or until ribs are done.

These sweet and spicy ribs are a hit in our home every time we serve them. On rainy days these are equally easy to prepare indoors. First, parboil the ribs for 30 – 40 minutes with your favorite seasonings and then pop them in the oven at 400 degrees, basting and turning every 10 – 15 minutes for an hour. The layered flavors are just perfect!
